Good question - have not tried that, BUT I just tried entering in one of
my studies a 1999mmdd value instead of the 99mmdd that I was using, and it
DOES NOT WORK - bombs completely! The study uses DateToJulian. I've not
tried (yet) to track down the problem, but there *does* seem to be a
problem. 

Perhaps "TS" is Y2k compliant (dates in data), but Easy Language is not?? 
That would SURE be a problem! But Omega could still claim "TS" is Y2k
compliant -- after all, EL *is* a different piece of software :-). 

Any comments? Anyone tried YYYY dates in EL date functions?
